## What it is
A Python CLI script that downloads portable installers of Adobe software for macOS in various versions and languages. It is aimed at system administrators deploying Adobe apps across multiple machines and users who need older versions or support for unsupported macOS releases.

## Use cases
- download portable Adobe installers for macOS
- deploy Photoshop to multiple Macs as a sysadmin
- install an older Adobe app version instead of the latest Creative Cloud release
- install Adobe software on an officially unsupported macOS version
- download Adobe apps with all language packs
- get ARM-native Photoshop installers

## When to choose
- you manage many macOS machines that need the same Adobe app
- you need a specific older version of an Adobe product
- your macOS version is no longer supported by Creative Cloud installers
- you want offline/portable installers instead of the Creative Cloud app

## When to avoid
- you are not on macOS (cross-platform support is still a to-do)
- you want a fully supported, licensed distribution channel
- you need a polished GUI installer experience
- you require a project with an explicit software license
